Kuwaiti FM Deplores Systematic Aggression against Palestinian People

Kuwait Foreign Minister Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (KUNA)

Kuwait's Foreign Minister Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah denounced on Wednesday the Israeli occupation's systematic assaults on the Palestinian people.

"The Israeli occupation authorities continue their systematic aggression against the Palestinian people, increasing their suffering," Minister Salem said at the 159th session of the Arab Foreign Ministers Council, that was held in Cairo.

"We condemn and denounce the continued Israeli occupation's aggressive violations against the Palestinian people," he added.

Sheikh Salem deplored the Israeli raid in the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank which left six Palestinians dead and several others injured.

He pointed out that such Israeli behavior is an obstacle to peace in the region.

The Kuwaiti official also condemned the Israeli expansion of illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian territories.

He renewed Kuwait's unwavering support for the Palestinian people against the Israeli occupation authorities' unilateral measures that aim to change the historical status of the city of Jerusalem.

He voiced Kuwait’s backing for a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian cause that guarantees the end of the occupation, the return of refugees and the establishment of a Palestinian independent state on the borders of June 4, 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital in accordance with the UN resolutions, the Arab Peace Initiative, and the two-state solution.
